Overview
Volatility in credit markets and rising interest rates are a couple variables that highlight the need for companies to effectively manage cash and working capital. Today more than ever, it’s imperative to manage accounts-receivable collections, optimization of payable discounts and the overall cash-conversion cycle. Poor working capital management drives operating inefficiencies, reduces profitability and jeopardizes future competitiveness and enterprise viability.
